HEATING GARS AND VEHICLES.

SPBCIFCATION forming part of Letters Patent. No. 372,605, dated Novemberl, 1887.

(No model.)

To @ZZ whom, it may concern.:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL A. Dammen, a citizen of the United States,residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New be forcedthrough the apparatus.

Jersey, have invented new and useful Imwhieh the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to improvements in heating cars,vehicles, andother conveyances, as set forth in the following specification andclaims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure lis asection in the plane :v fc,Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a section in the planeyy, Fig. l.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, the letter A designates the body of a car or wagon. Bymaking the body A of fire-proof material the body A is not liable tocatch fire. The body A has a compartment, C. In the compartment C is atire-place, B, adapted to heat a drum or receiver, D. Aboutthe drum Drests a coil or pipe, F, communicating with an inlet, G. As indicated byarrow 5, Fig. l, air can be caused to ilow into the inlet-tube G by apump or mechanism, II, of any well-known construction. From theinlet-tube G the air iiows through the coil F, and thence through theinlet l into the drum D. From the drum D the air iiows through theoutlet-pipe K to the tube L. By connecting the tube L with suitableheating lubes or spaces in a car or cars or vehicles connected orcoupled to the car A a car or a train of cars can be heated. As the fireis at the lire-place I3 in a reproof body,A,such lire is .not liable toset llire to any object outside of the body A.

The products of combustion pass from the fire-place B in the directionof arrows l and 2, and through the channel O, extending longitudinallythrough the drum and open at each end, and thence, in the direction ofarrows 3 and ll,to the chimney or outlet E. rIhe drum D and the air inthe drum D and in the coil F are thus thoroughly heated. gage, N,properly applied, will indicate the pressure of air in the drum D.

The pump H may be operated by suitable motive power-such as that from aboiler, R, in the compartment T. The products of combustion from thefire-place J of the boiler R pass through the outlet S to the chimney E.

A tank, I), having afeed-pipe,Q,can be used to feed the boiler It.

A pressure- In case it is desired to use the device as a coolingapparatus, the iire in the fire-place B can be extinguished and cool airor fluid can In this case the drum D might be cooled by a coolingAprovements in Heating Cars and Vehicles, of mediumsuch as ice placed iuthe channel O.

Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of the body A, containing the compartment O, havingthe fire-place B and chimney E, the drum D, arranged in saidcompartment, the pipe F, coiled around the exterior of the drum andconnected at one end with the interior thereof, the inlettube G,connected with the tube, a forcingpump, H, connected with theinlet-tube, the distributing-tube L at the bottom of the car, and theoutlet-pipe K, connecting one end ot' the drum with the saiddistributing-pipe, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the body A,.containing the compartment G, havingthe fireplace B and chimney E, the drum D, arranged in said compartment,the channel O, extending longitudinally through the drum and at each endin the said compartment, the pipe F, coiled around the exterior of thedrum and communicating at one end with the interior thereof, theinlet-tube G,connected with said coiled pipe, a forcing mechanism,H,connected with one end of the said inlet-tube, the distributing-tube Lat .the bottom of the car, and the outlet-pipe K, connecting one end ofthe drum with the said distributing-pipe, substantially as de scribed.

3. The combination of thefire-poof body A, containing the compartments Cand T, the

'drum D, arranged in one compartment, the

pipe F, coiled around the exterior ofthe drum and communicating at oneend with the interior thereof, the inlet-tube G,connected with saidcoiled pipe,the forcing-pump H,connected with the said inlet-tube, and aboiler arranged in the other of said compartments and connected with thepump, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
